'Fashions for women in the 19th century were significantly different than those of the 20th century. Garments were tightly fitted with little or no ease, shoulder seams were snugly fit over the back, and the torso was restricted with darts and boning. In this episode of Curator’s Corner, Jan Loverin will illustrate the restrictive nature of this clothing, by featuring several 19th century bodices, INSIDE OUT. She will highlight the construction detail not typically seen when clothing is displayed right side out. Before suffrage, women dressed in fashionable attire, were not only socially and legally restricted but were physically constrained in their clothing as well. This black silk bodice (ca. 1885) was worn by Mary Mott Odbert of Mottsville, Nevada.
